"We demonstrate that multilayer ANNs comprised of separate excitatory and inhibitory cell types, and neuronal units with separate dendrite compartments, can be trained to accurately classify images using a fully biology-compatible deep learning algorithm called dendritic target propagation."

"Cellular and subcellular specialization enables biology-constrained deep learning", Galloni et al. 2026 (Aaron Milstein's lab).

Do we need to hardwire hierarchical connectivity in recurrent neural networks to achieve predictive coding (PC)?

PC is an emergent consequence of an energy efficiency principle, leading to separate subpopulations of prediction and error units.

“intrinsic stochasticity is probably positively utilized by brains, not only to optimize the signal response but also to induce intelligence itself, and one of the key roles, played by astrocytes in information processing, could be dealing with noises”

The authors propose a simple single-neuron model where the dendrite is implemented as a sequence of thresholded linear units. They manipulate the underlying architecture and investigate the impacts of binary branching constraints and repetition of synaptic inputs on neural computation, finding that models with such manipulations can perform (surprisingly?) well on machine learning tasks.

“Neuroevolution enables important capabilities that are typically unavailable to gradient-based approaches, including learning neural network building blocks (for example activation functions), hyperparameters, architectures and even the algorithms for learning themselves [...] This Review looks at several key aspects of modern neuroevolution”

New preprint led by @[email protected] about a topic really interesting to me: the bridge between network science and artificial neural networks!

What happens if we use structured topologies or even real connectomes for some machine learning tasks?
